Abstract
A xerographic liquid toner image is transferred onto an image-receiving sheet carried along an arcuate path, e.g., on the peripheral surface of a rotating drum from the underside of a flexible sheet, e.g., a photoconductor sheet, while the flexible sheet is suspended by its margins from a moving carriage. The carriage is guided generally horizontally along a path above and proximate to the top of the drum periphery at a level such that the unattached central part of the flexible sheet, which is free to sag relative to its margins, is supported by the liquid toner image itself, out of contact with the image-receiving sheet, as the two sheets pass through an image transfer zone adjacent the top of the drum periphery.
